Ortrugo dei Colli Piacentini
Wine · PDO · 22 municipalities
Recognized since 2011, the Ortrugo dei Colli Piacentini DOC is defined by its strict reliance on the local Ortrugo grape, which must make up at least 90% of the blend. Unlike neighboring denominations with varying requirements, this Emilia-Romagna wine mandates a uniform minimum alcohol level of 11.00% vol at consumption across its still, frizzante, and spumante styles. Sourced from 22 municipalities, including Agazzano, the grapes must be vinified within the province of Piacenza, with limited exceptions in Rovescala. This pale straw-yellow wine, marked by a greenish tinge and a characteristic slightly bitter aftertaste, represents a highly localized profile.
